review: charlie and the choc factory
this movie got 2 thumbs up from me... hehe... actually initially i wondered how good this show could be, since the trailers dun really look fantastic.. cheesy actually...
but hey i was surprised, and it turned out to be one of the better shows i have watched in many recent months... the oompa loompas were absolutely cute and hilarious, and i must say charlie, forgot his name, did much better here than during neverland (where he also costarred with depp).
depp looked so cute as well.. hehe... his blank expression at times reminded me of edward scissorhands... the plot was, well, like the book, good for children with morals behind it of course.
although the setting and the graphics didnt blow me away, but the oompa loompas and willy wonka himself sure did! they were absolutely hilarious!
hehe... reminded me of my sec sch days when some ppl nicknamed me willy wonka... winston => willy, and wong => wonka... haha... think it was this guy called tee toon especially... well i called him tiny toon, so it worked out.. heheh..
after the movie we overheard 1 ang moh lady with 2 japanese frens talking while exiting the ladies...
Angmoh: "Hey, didnt you think the movie was funny?" (in the usual high-pitched american accent)
Jap1: "yes..."
Jap2: "yeah..."
Angmoh: "... then why aren't you ppl laughing at all? I felt like an idiot being the only one laughing out loud!"
at this point, i raised my hand, waving half-frantically, saying "i did! i did!"
but i guess she didnt hear/ see me... hehe
i dunno how the conversation continued, cos they went out of ear's reach.. but for sure it was the first time the angmoh watched a movie here in japan... well i was like her when i watched incredibles long long time ago... felt like an idiot laughing out loud when the whole cinema was hushed... it's either the japs dun get/enjoy the jokes/humor or they find it too impolite to laugh out loud...
i wonder...
